Hey, on FoxNews there was a newsflash about a ship caught in high seas carrying containers of a type of fertilizer,,,,that they say ‘FELL OFF’ in high seas...WHOA, isn’t that stuff used in making bombs like Oklahoma bombing?? How do we know they fell off, or were they taken off and sold to terrorists?? Thirty containers falling off are a red flag to me???

There are so many containers floating with minimum positive bouiancy in many areas of the worlds oceans that they are a serious hazard to smaller ships and cruising vessels. They float that way for years.

They are next to impossible to locate before you hole your boat.

However...wet fertilizer has a tough time going bang.
